Prisoner 489 by Joe R. Lansdale
Almost without fail, when being chased in a horror movie, the characters run up the stairs*. I’ve never understood this. They must know that they’re trapping themselves. Or if they are running in the woods, the crazed killer is strolling behind them like he has all the time in the world, and he always catchesContinue reading “Prisoner 489 by Joe R. Lansdale”
Brood by Chase Novak
So what do you do when you’re part werewolf? I know this is a question we all wonder frequently. For Adam and Alice, two children born under the most mysterious of fertility circumstances, this is a legitimate fear. Their parents participated in an experiment that guaranteed the birth of children, but did not guarantee they’dContinue reading “Brood by Chase Novak”
Horror Stories: Twelve of My Favorites
Even though fall has clearly gotten lost on its way to Colorado (hello record breaking temperatures, please go back to summer), it is still my favorite season of the year. To quote Anne, I am so happy I live in a world where there are Octobers. Despite it seemingly being in contrast to my aestheticContinue reading “Horror Stories: Twelve of My Favorites”

The Mist by Stephen King
Last Monday (September 9th), I had to meet someone three blocks away from my house. There was blue sky overhead and it was stifling hot. As I don’t like to drive, I decided to walk. This was both a good and bad decision*. About a block and a half into my walk (maybe five minutes)Continue reading “The Mist by Stephen King”
R.eaders I.mbibing P.eril
It’s September 1st. You know what that means: RIP (R.eaders I.mbibing P.eril). Or, if you’re me, just an average couple of reading months… Here are the categories to choose from: Mystery. Suspense.

As for Castle Rock, it’s a town of utmost importance and infamyContinue reading “Needful Things by Stephen King”
Thinner by Stephen King (writing as Richard Bachman)
Let’s talk about weight. Weight is, without a doubt, a heavy subject. (Sorry.) You could be overweight, underweight, or at a perfectly healthy weight, but I know very few people who are happy with what the scale says. I’m no different. I work out and am physically very healthy, but (sadly) I do not lookContinue reading “Thinner by Stephen King (writing as Richard Bachman)”
